ACT Student Outreach Grant

The American College of Theriogenologists is seeking to promote awareness of the College and to encourage veterinary students to aspire to Diplomate status after graduation. As part of these goals, we have set up the ACT Student Outreach Fund. The purpose of this fund is to subsidize travel and related expenses for non-local ACT Diplomates who have been invited by student groups to visit and teach at veterinary schools. We anticipate that these visits will stimulate student enthusiasm for and interest in the College by broadening students awareness of the many opportunities open to our Diplomates. This grant opportunity is open to all professional veterinary student groups. It is not required that the school has an active Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology. However, each school must designate one student as its representative.

Mission Statement

The mission of the ACT is to promote animal well-being, reproductive health, responsible breeding and genetic practices, and efficient management of breeding-age animals in agriculture, veterinary practice, zoos, preserves, and ecosystems. In particular, the ACT envisions development of focus areas in theriogenology to incorporate the following in theriogenology/reproductive medicine:

1. Population control for domestic and non-domestic animals including feral animals, free-ranging and captive wildlife.
